bubble tea reflections

by melonbar92

today was my very last shift ever at pearl fever and also the busiest. a lot of friends came by to visit me so amidst the chaotic ‘buy one get one free’ promotions and all the greetings/goodbyes from friendly faces, it went by pretty fast. goodbye giant pots of tea! goodbye wednesday morning milk deliveries! goodbye maroon pearl fever t-shirt that i will probably now use as a pyjama shirt! goodbye can opener that never worked properly whenever i used it! i will miss you all.

when i first got an interview at pearl fever, i was worried because i secretly (not so secretly) didn’t really like bubble tea. before my interview, i researched all these different flavours of bubble tea in case they asked me what my favourite flavour was (i was going to say taro). after working there for a year and a half, my fondness for bubble tea has genuinely grown (current real favourite: banana).

number of scars from pf: one. cause: cut on a can of fresh taro. where: right wrist. oh: yes.

i am really grateful for my manager and all my co-workers because they made bubble tea such a great experience for me. i learned a lot. and i enjoyed their presence in my life so much. ah. it is really the people that make the place what it is.

(i still don’t know how to make hot tofu pudding without cheating and looking at the recipe book. ….sorry hank and chris).
